Testimonial

“For LHSC and St. Joseph’s, AMS continues to evolve as a key part of the services provided by Cerner in support of the health care services we provide to our patients. Their direct and continuous support for the day-to-day operational management of our Cerner solutions allows our team to focus more on end user needs. Our recent upgrade, with rolling up time is an example of the value provided to our hospitals. I don’t know how we would operate without it – All clients need to be moving to adopt AMS.”
